Chapter 746 Are You Crazy About Money?
"First, let me clarify that the crazy man at the free clinic had nothing to do with me. I have no connection at all."
In the past two days, there have been endless comments online.
Basically, they are all disadvantageous to Qiao Xi.
There are even more comments on the victim-blaming theory, saying that Qiao Xi was targeted because of her improper behavior.
When Lu Yingxue heard the word "first", she knew that Qiao Xi had more than just one condition.
She said coldly, "Okay, I'll tell everyone that it was Lu Yan who did it. Our Lu family will personally send him to the police station. Is that sincere enough?"
This move is really cruel!
Since it was Lu Yan who did it, it must be a personal grudge.
It would not only not damage Lu Yingxue's reputation, but would also enhance her reputation by sacrificing her own relatives for the sake of justice, and it would also completely clear Qiao Xi of the dirty water.
Qiao Xi knew that Lu Yingxue was cruel, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel.
"Secondly, I want to clarify my relationship with Zhong Yi. I don't want to see irrelevant people speculating about my private life."
This condition was also within Lu Yingxue's expectations.
She nodded and said, "Okay. But it's true that Zhong Yi likes you. I can only say that you don't have any feelings for him, but if you want me to take back my criticism of Zhong Yi, that's impossible! After all, it was me who wanted to break off the engagement with him, and I can't go back on my word. Otherwise, I'd rather not have these herbs."
What the Lu family values most is reputation.
Qiao Xi hesitated, but Huo Xingzhou beside her said nonchalantly, "No problem."
Just enough.
The bait has just been thrown!
This fishing game has just begun.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou exchanged a glance and said, "These are just my two conditions. If you can do it, I'll immediately send someone to take you to the warehouse. There are ten tons of prepared Chinese medicinal materials you requested, enough for tomorrow's consultation."
When Lu Yingxue heard what Qiao Xi said, she felt a little confused.
Is it that simple?
She thought Qiao Xi would make things difficult for her, and these two conditions were not too harsh.
Maybe there are other traps?
But now the situation was pressing, and Lu Yingxue had no way of investigating the details. Even though she knew it might be a trap, she still jumped in.
"I can meet these two conditions! I'll solve them when I get home tonight!"
Lu Yan listened to her the most and was willing to sacrifice himself for the Lu family even if it meant going to jail for a few years.
As for the clarification, it wasn't a slap in the face. Fortunately, she left a clue when she was interviewed, only saying that Zhong Yi liked Qiao Xi and didn't say much more.
There is still room for maneuver.
"Then wait for good news."
Qiao Xi looked at Lu Yingxue's decisiveness and thought that if this woman was not so evil, she would still admire her.
At least she is decisive and can accomplish great things.
Too bad there's no bottom line.
They are destined to be mortal enemies.
Lu Yingxue stood up and said in a warning tone, "I hope your Huo family will keep their word."
"I almost forgot one thing." Qiao Xi smiled innocently, "Those ten tons of medicinal herbs are also sold to you at twenty times the market price. Can you accept that?"
So that's 40 million? That doesn't even include the expensive medicinal herbs!
If you add all of them together, it would be as high as 50 million!
Lu Yingxue felt dizzy and everything went dark before her eyes.
It took her a while to recover!
blackmail!
The medicinal materials that usually sell for more than 200,000 yuan per ton are now sold at such a high price!
Why don't they just rob?
No wonder the conditions were so simple, it turned out he was waiting here. The strangeness in Lu Yingxue's heart was replaced by anger, and she no longer had the mind to suspect that Qiao Xi had other schemes!
Lu Yingxue lost her composure and roared, "You guys are crazy about money!"
Qiao Xi was very calm: "Maybe."
After deducting the costs, these tens of millions can be used to build the Star-Moon Foundation.
It can save many families on the verge of breaking up!
She didn't feel guilty at all for using the Lu family's money to do good things.
Qiao Xi put down the water cup, looked at her and said, "The choice is yours. You can choose to refuse. I don't force you to buy these herbs at a high price, Miss Lu, don't you agree?"
It's bullshit!
All the blood in Lu Yingxue's body rushed to her head, and her remaining rationality controlled her from slapping Qiao Xi in the face.
She has no choice!
Even though she knew that he was deliberately trying to kill her, she had no choice but to accept it.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back!
The sunk costs were too high, and there was no way she could turn back.
Lu Yingxue calculated that the assets under her name and the Lu family's working capital could be raised to 50 million.
Who would have so much liquid funds and not invest them?
She even suspected that the couple had calculated the financial situation of their Lu family.
Lu Yingxue gritted her teeth and her lips trembled.
Looking at Qiao Xi's leisurely appearance, she bit the tip of her tongue.
The smell of blood spread in his mouth. After a long time, he said with unsteady breathing: "I will transfer the money to your account, but I must see the goods!"
She seemed to have said this once before today.
She was blackmailed by two groups of people.
"Okay, thank you for your patronage. Take care. I'll send someone to contact you once you've fulfilled my two conditions."
Qiao Xi's politeness is zero in front of Lu Yingxue.
Lu Yingxue left angrily!
The footsteps sounded angry.
A smile spread across Qiao Xi's lips.
Are you angry just because of this?
Wouldn’t I be so angry that I would die?
Huo Xingzhou's fingertips landed on the corner of her lips, stroking them gently. "I've never felt your mouth was so irritating before."
It's a bit weird, but also a little cute.
Qiao Xi turned to look at him: "Maybe he learned it from Jiaojiao, and it's very effective."
It’s annoying, but useful!
No wonder Jiaojiao always goes online to learn some swearing skills. It feels really good to see her arch-enemy getting so angry that he’s fuming!
Huo Xingzhou's handsome face showed an obvious smile: "You don't want to learn good things, but always learn this kind of thing."
"Isn't this good? Few people will dare to bully me in the future."
He leaned in close to her, his breath on her cheek.
His lips brushed against the corner of her lips slightly, causing some shudders.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but pursed her lips, which made them closer. The man seemed to have been suppressing himself for several days and slowly kissed her lips.
His big hand couldn't help but move to her back and hugged her waist.
Deepened the kiss.
Qiao Xi closed her eyes and moved closer to his body.
During this period, they had been intimate for only a few times because they were too busy. Also, because she was newly pregnant, he didn't dare to arouse her emotions casually.
Today was not what I expected.
His kiss was fierce and passionate.
No one disturbs you.
Qiao Xi tilted her head back, and she trembled when his lips moved to her neck.
"But...it's okay."
Her voice trembled as she said, "I can't go on."
Huo Xingzhou hugged her tightly and said softly, "I didn't want to continue at first. I know my limits."
It's just that the feeling of the kiss was too addictive. He liked her and wanted to be close to her.
This is the instinct of love.
"I need to take good care of my body, at least for the first three months..."
Huo Xingzhou said in a low voice: "I didn't do that before you gave birth." If what the doctor said about twins was true, then he would have to be more careful.
You can't hurt her body just for your own momentary pleasure.
Qiao Xi nodded, and saw him calm down for a long time before speaking.
"If Lu Yingxue suddenly realized what happened, would she go crazy?"
Huo Xingzhou laughed out loud: "The Lu family must be going crazy."
